My husband David and I have spent most of our marriage in the great outdoors of Oregon.
In fact, our first date we went out and cut firewood.
David even proposed to me on Valentines Day out in the mountains!
We live in Douglas County Oregon in a small town along the I-5 Corridor called Sutherlin.
We have raised our five (5) kids while enjoying the pleasures of camping, swimming in beautiful rivers, hunting and fishing in the local mountain areas. We live an hour from the Oregon Coast and an hour from the Cascade Mountain Range.
My other blogs are about my husband as a mushroom buyer and the book I published about Mushroom harvesting, A Visual Guide For Harvesting Mushrooms by Author House (available on line thru them).
I also have a blog about Crochet and Knitting. This one is new and I have few posts on it however, it is an art I enjoy every day that I can.
David struggles daily with the weather and availability of mushrooms to provide for us here on our little piece of heaven. He also has a buy station on the back of the property here in town.
When we leave the house we both have Olympus 1030SW Cameras that we insist on having with each of us. This camera is the best ever camera for an outdoorsman/person! He has dropped it into water, mud and nasty wet terrain and it still takes the most incredible sunsets and pictures, oh and it is a video camera too..
David has taken videos under water of small streams and fishies. Such an amazing camera.
The pictures we take are of Nature, Sunsets, moss, Ferns, Trees, you name it we click it!
I would love to make some of these into puzzles and even publish them in a book but that is probably not going to happen and I can't wait to share them.
I hope you enjoy them. I will try to identify locations if I remember them. My memory is faltering so I rely on David to keep me on track.
Enjoy!

A baby bird came to say hello while I was sitting on a hill side waiting for husband to finish cutting the firewood he was getting. I placed it on a stump near me so it could flop over to it's anxious mother that was watching us near by.
My husband David McKenzie and I. We stopped at the Diamond Lake view point on our way back from
Klamath Falls. We had taken our #5 child to O.I.T. in Klamath and took the opportunity to enjoy our trip by picking mushrooms and camping for a few days on our way back home.
